#NASD H1: how different does this look to DOW - I'd rather see them working together. Price is currently at a cluster of TZs for a possible reversal, and maybe an SDF: if so, 26k then M15 H1 TZ2 are within reach today. I like where the M15 TZ2 is, although strong divergence ...

#NASD D1: pretty good day for the bulls, yday, and if they continue today, we might get that all important higher close, above the red SR line. For now, like DOW, it's still range-bound between the 25 & 26K

#DOW H1: DOW is back inside the big WOWC and is about to complete FE127. It's obviously been a strong day for the bears, so far: could be AB sharp C before more up; could be mid-way through a bigger move down; TPs/PRZs as shown. Basically it's still a case of playing the range, unfortunately.

#DAX H1: this week's WOWC gap has been nicely flipped and yday's TZ1 TP almost done.TZ1 is at a strong PRZ for a possible turnaround but if the bulls can push on, M15 TZ1 & TZ2 are both within range for today; the latter is my preference. #DayTrading

#DAX D1: TLB up and into the 25k and last week's WOWC gap. We've seen DOW and NASD flip the gap - is it time for DAX to do same? W & S 🙂 #PriceAction

#NASDAQ H1: like DOW, flipped this week's WOWC gap, to make the up look good. ADR nearly done so keep an eye on the TLB S, if the bulls can get there. Price is currently testing the M15 TLB D supply: if it holds, M15 TZ1 will be a strong magnet; if smashed, I'd fancy the H1 supply

#NASDAQ: Weekly still in the super tight range (TCSWTGB). D1 found support @ 25k but is a total coin flip for now - the red TZs don't look as appealing at they did last week, especially with today's move. I think we'll need to wait to see which of the BBRNs is flipped

Sorry for late reviews - Bluesky was down :( The following was as I saw it pre-bell ...
#DOW H1: TLB up from the flipped gap - looks good for you know what .... Price is in a channel up, and not exactly impulsive, so I'll keep the options open but ... up does look better than down pre-bell

#DOW H4: Strong SR Pivot did its job so 50K looks more likely, especially with the 62/70% bounce & where H1 TZ2 sits. If today's low is smashed, we're looking to the gap in demand. OT is making things very difficult for me, along with the rest of the world (except his minions) #PriceAction

#DOW Weekly: ghost bar triple top with O & C at the WOWC gap low. We have a new range being so another W&S for a break of that. #PriceAction #TACO

#DAX H1: that WOWC gap down simply closed the FVG - and that, along with the reflex bounce, is why I think the bulls still have a chance. I'm going to leave Friday's upside magnets and see if we can flip the gap, to close last week's @ TZ2. IF not, M15 TZ2 is in a good spot

#DAX D1:CIM Tuesday's Be mo bar with SDF possible from here. I feel I should be looking down with the 2 x Be WOWC gaps but there's a strong argument to keep looking for 26k. W&S as per the weekly. #PriceAction #DayTrading

#DAX Weekly: a strong DR from the Xmas gap & that forever-AOB. The TACO KS gap supports more down but support says something else. Another gap down to start this week also fuels the bears (we'll look at that on the H1, for a possible different story). For now, stuck between rock & hard place.

#DOW H4: WOWC gap flip, although that was a strong upside rejection combo from supply. We have manu' & services #PMI @ bell+¼: if those numbers come out strong, we might even see an end of week new ATH (I didn't think I'd be saying that on Monday).. Alt: we look for 38% @ the Bu FVG. #PriceAction

#DAX H1: 25k looks good from here and M15 TZ1 is just a little beyond ADR; a gap close really does look too ambitious. Just need to break the corrective channel and supply - otherwise I'll be wearing a different hat. #PMI @ LO+½ - might be worth hanging on for. #PriceAction #DayTrading

#DAX D1: bit of a consolidation day, stuck between Be mo bar top and the SDF zone. Looks like we could get the Friday WOWC gap close again (although that's some 450pts away, so perhaps not today). 25k might have something to say about that, so let's see what happens there - IF the bulls continue

#NASDAQ H1: WOWC gap flipped - I did not see that coming when I hit the trading machine yday morning. A lot of hurdles jumped so M15 blue TZ1 looks like magnet No1 - that's in a great spot. #DayTrading

#DOW H1: bulls seem to be pushing on after some green GDP/unemployment (if you can believe the stats). So ... looking for a full close of the WOWC gap and ... possibly FE127 @ supply #PriceAction

#DOW H4: OT defeats the tea leaves again. No doubt about it, this is TACO PA (I'll save my thoughts on who would have made a lot of money with that move). We could be back looking for 50k again but, like DAX, I'm in wait-and-see mode: how will price deal with the gap? #PriceAction #TACO

#DAX H1: upside target done. MM setting up? That projects to the ATH; I struggle to believe price could, but I'll plot it anyway. What next all depends how price deals with the AOB (orange rec'): arguments for both ways. I'll be chicken for now, in wait-and-see mode but some nice up magnets there

#DAX D1: TACO is back!!! It's amazing how price levels usually give us a clue and the PRZs certainly worked well for OTs blah yday. Looks like we might get a Friday gap close again. Mid-FVG with 25k just above - another PRZ but yday MF supports up, if price can flip Tuesday's open #PriceAction

#NASDAQ H1: almost did the D1 50%: with that, and the D1 reflex, this is a good place for a corrective rally. OT has just announced that he won't use force for Denmark and the markets have responded well. If rally continues. 38% is in a great spot

#NASDAQ D1: strong Be day, like the others but we have a reflex for support, at least for now. Red TZ1 /2 still looking good in the longer term
